Very comfortable rooms, comfy beds. The front desk staff were always lovely and greeted us and chatted every time. Lovely people.
The hotel is about a 5 min walk to the Port and all the restaurants and cafes.
Breakfast was perfect but we aren’t big eaters so my opinion may be biased.

Good location

We had a few days in Marseille with our adult grandson. This hotel is well placed for the old port (Vieux port) area and all the eateries along it, plus a couple of museums. The hotel does offer breakfast ,which we didn't try, but it seemed popular. Tea/coffee is available free at any time. Our room was pretty comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful, but I'm not sure if the front desk is manned 24 hours.

Absolutely best value , the location real good , looks new , the bathroom is nice and modern . Even the size of the elevator is big . The breakfast doesn't get better . Cant remember a better breakfast. The front desk clerk was the nicest , from the day shift to the grave yard clerk also extremely nice . From someone as i that takes 25 trips a year it doesn't get better.

Suggest Expedia/hotel update parking info as there is no onsite parking at all. Also, the parking voucher the hotel provided for parking in the shopping centre (where the lifts did not work and we had to carry the bags two floors) didn’t work and we ended up paying full price. The room is very small. I do not like the area the hotel is in myself but others may not have a problem with it.

No Air Conditioning

We did not enjoy our stay. The air conditioning did not work in our room so it was extremely hot. We could not sleep and the front desk staff could only give us a fan. The amenities were dated and the bed side lamp on switch was connected to the lamp cord resting on the floor.

The hotel is nice and the staff was friendly. While the location was near many sites, that entire area is dirty, loud and felt unsafe especially at night. I was very disappointed with the inaccuracy of the reviews that said it was in a great location but understand opinions are totally subjective. If you’re a female solo traveling, I recommend you look elsewhere. Again, the hotel itself and staff were nice but the location is terrible.

The hotel was very nice and friendly. Unfortunately I got robbed by the hotel entrance door on entering the hotel early Saturday morning. Be aware there are wallet snatchers in the area on foot and moped. Having said that, the security guard was excellent in calling the police and walking me to the police station. The hotel staff were very apologetic and offered to help in lots of ways.. I cannot thank them enough. Please be aware of guys talking to you on approach to the hotel. They wait for you to take your room key out of your wallet and then they snatch it and run off then jump on their mates moped and speed off

Note that we had a room on the top floor but the lift goes only to the floor below. Room was very comfortable and the air conditioning was superb.

The receptionist was very helpful and friendly. We asked for restaurant recommendations and he gave us a whole list of places to choose and description of what food to try. Area of the hotel was very convenient as well.

The staff was very helpful and accommodating. The property is generous and an excellent value - I would rate it on par with a 4 star hotel. Some of the bathrooms are cramped, some maintenance is needed around the property. There is no parking, handicap or otherwise. The hotel is located on a street with only trams and pedestrian traffic, so your GPS will get you to the nearest corner (the hotel is over your left shoulder).
